Upon hearing the first sounds, Muad'dib quickly looks around for any nearby bushes that which he can retreat to, in an effort to avoid whatever is making the noises. Muad'dib sees nowhere to hide, and comes to the realization that he must face it. "I wonder what could be making these noises. I guess I'll soon find out." Muad'dib fears the worse, and so badly wants to run, but the thoughts of young children in danger keeps him still. he braces himself and positions himself into a still stance, focused deeply on the direction of the noise. The noise gets closer and closer and louder and louder. Its to big to be a young Adahy.
Suddenly the noise stops directly in front of him. Muad'dib continues to stare. "Hello there," Says the voice. "How are you?" "I'm fine. What do you want?", says Muad'dib in a gruff tone. Before him stands a beautiful female Adahy. "I've been watching you from a distance in the evenings the past few night. You caught my eye, and I finally wanted to talk. I had to run quickly to make it here before you escaped back into the shadows once again tonight." "So..." he replied. Muad'dib turned his back on her and began to walk away. He wanted nothing more than to go back to his quiet area where no one could bother him.
"But wait." She said to him. Muad'dib continued walking, but all of a sudden stopped. He thought about something.... His love of children. "She is a beautiful lady.." he thought to himself. "Maybe I should give her a chance. I really would love to have a family, and raise children of my own." Muad'dib thought for a few moments, finally turning back to the female Adahy. "I'm so sorry for being so rude... My name is Muad'dib.".....

Muad'dib moved slow. With a stretch the male loped away through the undergrowth towards the river. It was a beautiful time of evening as the sun set and the forest grew quiet. The silence was wonderful to Muad'dib's ears, but it was swiftly broken.
Cries rang out in the forest. It was difficult to discern what it could be. At least one adahy. The sounds of thudding, tearing and crashing grew louder and louder as whoever it was ran at full speed through the forest. Muad'dib's pulse quickened as he thought about his options. He had to think fast. They would be upon him in no time.
The adahy slipped through the tall plants, their thick fronds swaying as he stepped off the path. He trotted uphill closer to the noise with hopes of seeing something, anything, before crossing its path. It could be an adahy in danger. It could be children. He could hear the sounds clearly now, they both sounded like adahy. Muad'dib crested a small hill and leapt unto an old fallen tree. He raised up high.
There they were. Two very young adahy, running and dodging between trees at a break-neck pace. He jumped back down and ran to intercept them. Muad'dib let out a call to alert them, it echoed and he could see the children ahead of him now as they turned his way.
The adult adahy ran behind them, looking down the forest the way they had come. Muad'dib expected there to be some dangerous di'taki after the two, as hard and terrified as they had been running. He scented the air. Nothing alarming. Lowering his eyes to the children, Muad'dib asked, "What happened? Is something after you two? Are you lost?"
One could not speak at all. The other croaked, "No. We.. yes. We saw di'taki, we ran so fast we lost our big sister. She is somewhere. Out there."
"It's alright. I don't think the di'taki is anywhere near here." He nosed the two gently. "Come on. Let's find your sister. If you don't want to go back that way, I have a very safe place you can hide."
Very safe indeed. As much as Muad'dib did not like to be disturbed, after once or twice being happened upon in the forest by strangers he always found the best hiding places to rest in now. If the two siblings did not want to wait there then Muad'dib was prepared to watch out for them as they made their way back to their sister. He would do anything to make sure no di'taki would disrupt his forest.
